![]() You want mac support with a full mac build? be the hero you want to see in the world and offer your testing help in that github excited that there has been some traction on an FAF for Mac Discussion. I'll start digging for more info and support. TLDR : I don't own a mac, I'm no mac expert, this method worked before on a non big-sur mac it should still work on a non big-sur mac today for you. I dunno how that will pan out, this post is mainly intended for pre-"Big Sur" macs.Ī general-use piece of wisdom for your life: don't buy apple. ![]() Building either FAF clients for Mac's new architecture is probably a tall ask, let alone emulating Forged Alliance. All of this was from the post-"Big Sur" era. I'll ask around to see if they can get a Mac native build going. I may not be able to answer your mac questions but if it pertains to proton and steam ect I'm pretty sure I'll be able to help out.Īlso I personally know jack shit about the python client, I use the downlord Java one (that's the one that's supported and who's support isn't going away anytime soon) I'm pretty sure you can get that one running natively too. That guy's guide will serve you much better. So yeah As you can see in the old thread I'd gotten an auto-install script working that was gonna work for every single existing operating system, even windows (this script doesn't work anymore because I haven't updated since it's really lost it's point: most of the things that were needed are no longer needed, it much easier today). I haven't actually played a multi game with it because my network is currently bad, but vs AI worked, and connecting in lobby worked, so it will probably work. It is not supported and will probably break randomly but oh well. Hopefully this is slightly helpful to anyone trying this. Since it pipes the output of wine, it is way easier trying to figure out why FA decided not to boot than going through forever.log or gamesession.log. Users/nrook/Library/PlayOnMac/wine/darwin-x86/3.17/bin/wine >/Users/nrook/FAForever/logs/winestdout 2>/Users/nrook/FAForever/logs/winestderr It is another dumb script, here is its contents: export WINEPREFIX=/Users/nrook/Library/PlayOnMac/wineprefix/steam Of course dumb_wine_shim is something I wrote myself. As such I just gave up and used this as the "exe" in the section of FA Lobby.ini: Įxe=/Users/nrook/code/faf-client/dumb_wine_shim ![]() PlayOnMac installs everything in "$HOME/Library/PlayOnMac/wineprefix/Steam/drive_c" so look there.įinally it was really hard to debug why launching FA was working or not working. Noah $(dirname "$0")/real-faf-uid don't know if this actually works well or not, so don't blame me if you get autobannedįor the FA directory, I used the directory from the WIne client. Then I renamed faf-uid to real-faf-uid, and in the place of faf-uid put this script: #!/bin/bash Specifically, I downloaded the linux faf-uid, then I installed this program called "noah" with homebrew. I had to do dumb stuff to get faf-uid working because there isn't a compiled Mac (BSD) client. I used the original FAF client because I know more about Python than Java, sorry Downlord. I don't remember exactly what I had to do here but it was annoying. At first Steam wouldn't download anything, I had to change it to use different download servers for some reason, using some weird advice I saw on Reddit or something. Once I had Steam I installed FA in there. I installed Steam with PlayOnMac, which is basically just a wrapper around Wine. hon_clientĮxcept I changed things whenever I had to. I basically started by following this guide. I got SupCom and FAF running on a mac and figured I should post about what I had to do, so anyone else who tries this has ideas.

Windows snip tool bind2/11/2024 Shift + cursor keys Move the cursor to select a rectangular snip area.Alt + N Create a new snip in the same mode as the last one.Note the Snipping Tool specific shortcut keys (not easily found, but are referenced on a Microsoft page): You can optionally change the key used for this here: Changing this to "Take screen clipping" will make that the default when you double click on this tray icon. You can change the default action when you double-click on the OneNote tray icon by right-clicking on that and going to OneNote icon defaults. Opens a rectangular screen capture (use mouse or cursor keys) to grab a selected area of screen to clipboard (Ctrl-V to paste somewhere as normal). Win + Shift + S This is the OneNote "Take Screen clipping" function.Alt + PrintScreen Capture current Window or dialogue to clipboard (Ctrl-V to paste somewhere as normal).Win + PrintScreen Save a Full-screen to an image in the Screenshots folder: C:\Users\\Pictures\Screenshots.Ctrl + PrintScreen If Snipping Tool is currently open, will start a Snipping Tool operation, otherwise, acts as a normal PrintScreen above.PrintScreen Saves entire screenshot to clipboard (Ctrl-V to paste somewhere as normal).Note the default OS screen capture options, quite a lot can be done with these, particularly the OneNote specific Win + Shift + S ("Take screen clipping" function). Quicker way than above: Just open Start, type "snip" to see the Snipping Tool, right-click on it in Start menu then select "Open file location" which will open Explorer in the folder where the Snipping Tool Start menu shortcut is located, right-click on that and in Properties adjust the shortcut key (I just used F5 here in line with Sant14's post above). Note: Mouse Keys (a function in the Ease of Access tools, as noted above by Peter Pompeii above), are not in any way required for this, and will not help with any of the below.Ĭreate hotkey for Snipping Tool. ![]() A lot of good answers here, but I don't see any that directly answer the OP (some mention 3rd party tools, which are great, but it's good to know defaults on a bare system, as asked, so to answer the OP using default key options in Windows ("Is there a way to launch a default snipping action"), here are the options available using just OS hotkeys (except for one, creating a hotkey for Snipping Tool has to be done manually as noted above).

Hidden family secrets lifetime2/11/2024 ![]() ![]() I left with so much admiration for what Frank did to essentially save his life. ![]() Being one of the TV networks which regularly comes out with original films, Lifetime is in stiff competition with the streaming platforms which have also made the movie-watching experience a living room affair. Wow…what an amazing tour! I’ve read the book so was familiar with his story but hearing him tell it and the depth that he went into and seeing so many places where events took place. ‘Her Secret Family Killer’ (‘previously ‘DNA Killer’) is a thriller movie from Lifetime. Before long, the unlikely pair begins falling for each other. When she arrives, she finds a high-profile billionaire who lacks holiday spirit in the process of selling the charming estate she hoped to use as a venue. When Gabby disappears after a heated argument with her mom, authorities and friends fear she’s run away from home. As Christmas approaches a New York event planner is sent to a small town to organize a holiday festival. Today, I finally got to take the private tour and it was just my mom and I. Become a Yearly Subscriber Synopsis (via Lifetime) Recently widowed mom, Melanie, and her daughter Gabby are adjusting to life after husband and dad Scott died in a tragic boating accident. I was back in town in 2019 but Frank wasn’t here for tours. I bought his book, we both read it and immediately and knew we had to go on this tour. My husband and I met Frank briefly 4 years ago and were leaving town that afternoon so no time for a tour.

Metro last light redux size2/11/2024 ![]() Released 16th May 2013 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Play them in tandem and you have some thoroughly excellent gaming ahead of you. Metro: Last Light is a great ride, and has improved on the also great Metro 2033. And for real fans you can grab the novel Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky for a bit of light reading and find out more about the where the games come from. There are also a few defining moments which will have you wanting to do a second play through to see what the outcome is. For more game time you have Ranger Mode which has you playing without any HUD and significantly less resources to find, which after playing through on normal might be a good thing. Metro: Last Light Redux sees the first-person survival horror adventures of post-apocalyptic Metro ranger Artyom continue in a sequel that seeks to up the ante in terms of big-budget bombast. You could probably chop it out in under 10 hours if you wanted. ![]() So remember to have some spare filters, but please, do choke to death at least once, especially if you are playing with a good quality headset.Īs is the norm with first person shooters these days, Metro: Last Light isn’t the longest game around, about 15 hours for me, with a heap of exploring done. This happens when you need to change the filter on your gas mask, heavy breathing moves to laboured, and then gagging and choking. The audio is equally impressive, with one sound really setting the mood the sound of suffocation. Graphically, Metro: Last Light is a fantastic looking and atmospheric game, with a great variety of urban, rural, and underground locations to take in as you follow your compass, and your heart. Don’t despair though, there are still plenty of mutants roaming around to mow down. Stealth also plays a big roll this time around with one achievement even being awarded for completing the game with only certain ‘required’ human deaths to your name. Even the traders in the beautifully overpopulated Metro Stations seem to have access to plenty of stock. Veterans of Metro 2033 will be glad to know that one year later ammo seems to be less of a problem in the city with massive amounts freely strewn through the Metro and above ground. Ammo and weapons also need to be acquired and with a variety of upgrades available for all weapons it is a constant decision on which setup to go forward with. To mix it up and keep things interesting you are required to find a decent supply of filters for your gas mask which needs to be worn when above ground. Typically I hate games that are this linear, but thanks to the great story and interesting characters it didn’t seem like a chore at all playing through the devastated city of Moscow. So, Metro: Last Light finds you in a very linear, story-driven first person shooter. And lets face it, it would be a crime to miss such a decent game at the price it can be found at these days. Not only because it will bring you up to speed with the story and characters, but because it is a mighty fine game in its own right. ![]() For those who haven’t played Metro 2033, I recommend you grab it and play it through before getting in to Metro: Last light. Metro: Last Light is familiar territory with the tweaks and bug fixes you would expect in a follow up title. Those who have played the first game, Metro 2033, will know what to expect here.

Eileen colvin timeless interiors2/11/2024 ![]() ![]() Thanks to this specialized training, she was part of a modern revival of this ancient art form. Using her early work as an introduction, Gray apprenticed herself to the Japanese lacquer artist, Seizo Sugawara, a man as young as she was. From London, Gray traveled to Paris to continue her training in the difficult and labor-intensive craft of lacquer working. ![]() A black ground was advocated, through grounds could also be, though rarely, white, which in the seventeenth century imitated porcelain.” This last sentence was interesting in its reference to the color white and the rarity of its use as a ground color, for some of Gray’s most famous work of the 1920s would be in white. The manual advocated the use of only the best varnish which also could be used for varnishing light colors such as white, yellow, green, sky red, silver or gilded. ![]() The colors which were popular in the manual included ivory black, lampblack, verdigris, umber, indigo or yellow ochre. Discussing the 1688 book, A Treatise of Japanning and Varnishing, Goff wrote that “Gray would eventually import all of her pigments from China. Two years later in 1905 Gray, resumed her education with the restorer. The owner Dean Charles took her on as a pupil. In 1900, according to her biographers, Jennifer Goff, Gray found a display of lacquer first at the Victoria and Albert Museum and later at the shops in SoHo, where she found a restoration shop on Dean Street. One of the modern artists of lacquer, the Irish artist learned of lacquer while she was a student at the Slade School in London. The fashionable designer roared around Paris in a fancy car, accompanied by one of her lovers, the singer, Marie-Louise Damin, known as “Damien.” Damien owned a pet panther, who rode in the back of the car. As a member of the group of creative women, Gray was wealthy enough to accessorize her Garçonne look with elegant coats designed by Paul Poiret and stylish hats by Jeanne Lanvin that covered her short bob. During the Jazz Age, Paris was one of the cultural centers where lesbians were allowed to live openly and productively, contributing to society with literature and art. The entrance of a woman into the field of architecture during the early decades of the twentieth century would be considered an effrontery to her male peers, but perhaps because she was an outsider, Eileen Gray simply walked into the discipline without any formal training and designed one of the most famous houses of the twentieth century, the E1027, after which her famous table is named.Įileen Gray lived in multiple worlds, shifting with ease between the domain of the arts and the terrain of the wealthy, the class to which she was born. Indeed, in her own right, Eileen Gray was a rare individual in those days-a woman who became successful in fields that were owned by males: art, design, and architecture. The height could be adjusted with an elegant chain attached to a pin which can be slotted into the desired hole so that one could use it as a side table or as an over the bed table for having breakfast or an afternoon tea. The famous side table is one of those rare products that has never been altered. The two circles are held together by an elegant long thin rectangle. Like Gray’s Bibendum chair, the table is made of circles, one at the top, a circle of bent steel topped with glass and at the bottom there is a broken circle as the base of an adjustable table that could be slide under a bed or pushed near a chair. This bent tubular steel table dates from 1925, coinciding with similar work by Mies van der Rohr and Marcel Breuer. The ingenuity of the operation, cleverly concealed and modestly articulated along the verticles, allows the table to be raised or lowered according to the height of the accompanying piece of furniture. The design is simple geometry–two circles and two straight lines–elegance in and of itself. The chrome frame does an efficient double duty–the lower level, an almost-closed circle, and the upper circle, elevated by a verticle slide that allows the height to be adjusted, is filled in with glass. 1027 side table, designed in 1927, is one of the few objects from Art Deco that is ageless and timeless and transcends its period and is still sold as “modern” furniture. If Cassandre gave the Jazz Age its distinctive graphic style, then it was a woman, an architect and a designer who gave the decade its most memorable piece of furniture, still in production today.
